Blackthorn Town/ Temp'elar Family Event: Mittens and The Vanishing of the Temp'elar Family.
Category: Uncategorized

Mittens didn't like this. Mittens didn't like this at all. It had been nearly twenty minutes since she had woken from her afternoon nap that had in fairness turned into an evening nap, and despite mawing and meowing her loudest nobody had come to feed her! 

With the grace of a panther she pounced up onto the window ledge of Cal's bedroom where she had chosen to take her nap. Outside all the family cars were still visible. This was most unusual. With a casual nature she leapt down and patted her way out of the door, meowing occasionally to call out for attention. If she didn't see her humans regularly she became very concerned for them. Such foolish if adorable creatures they could be. They only slept once a day, they ate bits of leaf and such with their meat and some of the noises that came from their bedrooms in the night were ungodly!

Having searched the top two floors of the estate with no sign of them Mittens became especially concerned. She pounced down, two steps at a time to the ground floor and saw all their coats on the hangers. She leapt onto the table side by the door, and saw all their keys. Everyone's, even the family that didn't always live here!

This was most unusual. She ran into the kitchen to find to her horror that their was no cat food in her bowl! Not even water in her drinking bowl!

"Meow! Meeeooooooww!" She called out. Had Rex, that smelly zombie dog eaten them? No, no their would be blood and mucky dog stink everywhere. Then it hit her. Like a flash she knew what had happened. 

Aliens. Aliens had kidnapped them all. Her whole family. She slumped down with a quiet "maaaw". She was going to miss her humans. True, they could be loud, and Luna seemed determined to turn into a cat despite being clearly the wrong shape, but still she would miss them. And how would she get at the food?

With a slow sad waddle, Mittens ambled out of the kitchen and towards the lounge. She thought back to the good times, running around the Academy with Cal and Mizzy. Keeping guard for Sera. Helping Seven and Kaya catch zombie rats and so many other things. 

Then she heard a sound. A strange creepy whisper. She crouched down her nose twitching picking up a scent of burning oxygen. Her eyes could see a flickering light.

The Aliens had come back for her! Should she run? Hide? No. No! These things had taken her family and by God she would face them, cat to weird sticky gooey alien thing!

She crouched back, her tail and butt wiggling in preparation and with a loud "MEOW" she burst through into the lounge!

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY MITTENS!"

Mittens looked around with a questioning "meow?" There stood the whole Temp'elar family. Every single one of them holding cakes with candles. Bags of catnip. Balls of string with bows on them. Mittens wasn't sure exactly what a birthday was but they seemed to be excited about it.

They all came towards her, and by Jove she was ready to give them a piece of her mind. But they all started stroking her. Tickling her belly. Feeding her the catnip and kissing her forehead. Whatever this birthday thing was it was clearly about her! Mittens became very aware suddenly that she was purring. She was as happy as she had ever been. She had her family, all the attention and love she could want and catnip.

She decided that for now she would give them all the cat love they wanted in return.

She would poop in there shoes later.
